The Exertion of Ease

Blowing in the wind like a gentle summer breeze

My soul ponders the meaning of life and all of its variations

Like a seed growing out of the depths of the earth

My heart pours out sweet fragrances of love

Running from place to place trying to find a comfortable scene

The heart grows restless with desire

Only experience can quench the thirst of an immortal soul

My life and love will be the seat of observation

Knowing not the truth of my destiny

My struggle from ease to ease waiting on desire to burn the calm

The fiery night where no one is able to sleep

The wails of a broken heart shower the grass with divine moisture

What is the problem and why all the confusion?

Where is my foundation the rock on which all life stands?

How can this place be so dark and old with unworthy desires?

Why do I feel the despair deep, resting in the tide of my being?

Jumping into the manifested scene of craving

All around me to and fro, going from place to place

Desires, cravings yearnings, aspirations, wishes and wants

All dance in the eternal flame of boredom

Victim and executioner, king and servant, noble and knight

The skill of the master craftsman hard at work

Sculpting the masterpiece to put into the frame of timeless images

All feeding and growing the psyche of the unsettled soul

This is what it feels like with the coming of desire

To engage in the current of energy creating new destinies and truths

The key to mapping out my purpose and plan for this life

The struggle that this experience brings will produce ease

The simplicity of acceptance is the goal for the searching soul

Now the night has come over the land of form

My head resting on the pillow of paradise

What a journey which walks the road of desire

All to bring me into oneness with acceptance, the driving force behind my will

Now I know ease produces struggle, and pain produces gain

This is my receipt; the goal of my heart is mine now to keep.
